Time 2h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons powdered gelatin (two 1/4-ounce packets)
1 cup whole milk
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Nonstick cooking spray
45 chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreo (about one 18-ounce package)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring the cream, sugar and vanilla to a low boil in a large saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, pour the milk into a pie plate or shallow bowl and sprinkle with the gelatin in an even layer. Let sit until the gelatin looks completely damp, like wet sand.
  • When the cream just reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and immediately add the chocolate, stirring to mix through. Let sit for a few minutes to melt the chocolate.
  • Lightly coat an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Pulse the cookies in a food processor until very fine, almost powdery. Add the cookie crumbs to a large bowl and mix in the butter with a wooden spoon until the mixture holds together when pinched. Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared springform and pat evenly into the bottom and sides of the pan. Set aside.
  • Whisk the hot cream and melted chocolate until smooth. Add the gelatin mixture, stirring well to melt the gelatin. Let cool slightly before pouring the filling through a sieve into the crust. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight. (To freeze for more than a day, wrap the entire springform in plastic wrap and then foil, and freeze for up to 1 month.)
  • Top with whipped cream before serving.
